I do not own any of the Score. It belongs to John Williams. I am also not making any money of this video.

Out of respect of the owners of this track, the visual imput of part of the second cue will be censored.

25 years ago, the film "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace", the first installment of the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, was released.

This is the second Part of the film "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace", when Qui-gon Jinn and Obi-wan Kenobi meet Jar-Jar Binks, and venture into the waters of Naboo.

0:00 Intro
0:13 The Droid Invasion
1:44 Introducing Jar Jar (Swimming to Otoh Gunga)
3:51 The Bubble World (Inside the Bubble City)
7:08 Gone Fishin' (Attack of the Giant Fish)
8:45 Darth Sidious
9:43 Monster's Back (The Giant Squid and the Attack on Theed)

The Droid Invasion: The theme of the Trade Federation. This Cue plays when the Droids Land on Naboo.

Introducing Jar Jar (Swimming to Otoh Gunga): The Jedi meet Jar-Jar Binks, and venture towards Otto Gunga. Jar-Jars theme. And the Imperial March. And the underwater motif. The first part of this cue was not used in the film.

The Bubble World (Inside the Bubble City). Conversations. Not much to say.

Gone Fishin' (Attack of the Giant Fish): They take the Gungan Sub to Theed. They are attacked. We hear a variant of the Underwater motif, and the Imperial March.

Darth Sidious: Darth Sidious gives Nute and Rune Instructions. We hear the Underwater Motif.

Monster's Back (The Giant Squid and the Attack on Theed): Another Underwater Chase. The Droids Invade theed. We hear the Trade Federation March again.


Several of the cues have been tracked for "Attack of the Clones" or even reused in "The Phantom Menace". "Gone Fishing" plays as the sub emerges from the waters. It also plays several times in Attack of the Clones, when Mace confronts the Super Battle Droids, and during the Jedi and Clone fights on Geonosis. "Monster's Back" follows "Gone Fishing" during the Jedi and Clone fights on Geonosis.

Continuing the "LSW1TVG" tune Identification, "The Droid Invasion" and "Introducing Jar-Jar" also happen to appear in "Lego Star Wars: The Video Game" in Episode 1, Level 2: The Invasion of Naboo, a level based off this very scene, when Qui-gon Jinn, Obi-wan Kenobi, and Jar-Jar Binks sneak around the Droid Controlled Swamps. They plays during puzzle solving or walking moments, when Battle Droids aren't attacking the Player.

Also, I would Like to thank Film Score Media for providing a complete (as far as we can get) collection of the soundtrack for "The Phantom Menace", as well as the Prequel Trilogy in General. Check out his Channel Here:
